My love letter to Dean, I suppose.

Firstly, thank you to the Lawrence Awards team for organising and running the Lawrence Awards. Without them, this edition would not be possible.

Thanks also to mona1347 for taking the initiative without any prompting and trying her hand at the wackiness that is trying to organise submissions! The supplementary podcast would not exist without her.

Thank you to all the readers who volunteered to record pieces; thanks especially to those who I wasn’t able to fit in this edition - I really, really appreciate your hard work and hope to make good use of your material in future.

And THANK YOU to the listeners and feedbackers who have been enthusiastic and encouraging about this project all along the way. This really wouldn’t exist at all without an audience.

Editor’s note: Hopefully the volume is okay in this edition. I’m still an amateur when it comes to the technical side of this, so please forgive me if my learning curve is causing you distress of the aural kind, heh! Also apologies for my spaced-out-and-congested voice. Of course, I develop a bad cold when it’s time to interview/record!
